This afternoon I was working on the sauce that would go along with pearl hen that we would eat during our Christmas dinner. Of course I used as much as possible fresh ingredients.
One of these ingredients was red pepper, the really spicy kind of red pepper. I used just a little and cut it in very small pieces. Somehow I must have got some of the fluid of the red pepper on my fingers. Without thinking I rubbed my right eye and by that I got some of the red pepper fluid in my eye. It felt as my eye was on fire. Tears kept rolling out of my eye. I am not touchy at all, but this really did hurt a lot.
Even now, some hours later, my eye is still burning, but at least it is bearable again. This is a lesson for the future!!!
I was really worried here, Rob. I was not far away from calling a doctor. Remember Rob, you have to do with one eye. Please be careful!
